Hotels with connecting rooms in Central Iowa

"Check in was wonderful. We had booked with a different hotel amd ran into issue after issue with them. We canceled that hotel and booked last minute with Gateway and realized that it should have been our 1st choice. From Travis at reception to the cooks and waitstaff at the restaurant. It was wonderful. Comfy beds, great pool and hot tub, divine restaurant. The Gateway was booked solid but it almost seemed like we had the hotel to ourselves. A quiet late dinner at the Iowa Stater, a relaxing soak in the hot tub. Quiet hallways. I wish every hotwl way like this. 10 out of 10 recommend!!!"

"I rarely write reviews for hotels, but for a first time stay, I was quite impressed with the hotel and beauty of both the outside and inside, the friendly staff and the convenience and location. The bed and pillows were so comfortable and the lobby and bar area are very modern and charming. Highly recommended! "

"Great hotel for a good price."

"Our family of 6 had a great long weekend here. Rooms were clean, beds were comfortable, and service was amazing. Kids enjoyed the pool and board games in the lobby. Breakfast was great both weekend and weekday."

"This place is amazing. I’ve never stayed in a place quite like this. I got one of the cottage themed rooms and it was amazing. It was extremely comfortable (except for the pillows but it’s rare to get good pillows in a hotel). It was so spacious it felt like the room kept going. The room I booked had a fireplace which helped my wife stay warm even though I was hot and she was cold. The shower had good room and pressure. The woman who checked me in was very friendly and informative. I don’t know if I’ll ever go back to Des Moines but if I do I’m staying here no questions ask. In fact I’m going to find out if Stoney Creek has other places. I loved this place. "

"Needed a quiet room for one night. The hotel is older and the hallways show some age. But our room was very nice and clean. The beds are comfortable and the room was quiet. The breakfast had a nice variety of choices. "

"Excellent! Room was spotless. Beds were very comfortable. Breakfast selection was wonderful. Very affordable."

"The only issue I had was with the slides. The rules on what life jacket to wear wasn’t posted anywhere. My son went down one slide with a life jacket and the second time was told he couldn’t wear that one. He had to wear one that buckled in the back not in the front. The rules weren’t posted on the life jackets. "
